BTC Price Taps $60K for the First Time in 9 Days, DOGE and SHIB Jump by 4% (Weekend Watch)
Jul 14, 2024 1:58 AM

Bitcoins weekend revival continues as the asset skyrocketed to over $60,000 for the first time since last Fridays massacre after the unsuccessful assassination attempt against Donald Trump.

Several altcoins have performed even better in the past day, including DOGE, NEAR, SOL, and others.

BTC Jumps Above $60K

Perhaps driven by uncertainty from the Mt. Gox BTC distribution and the actions of the German government, the primary cryptocurrency dumped hard 9 days ago from over $58,000 to a multi-month low of under $54,000.

The bulls initiated a recovery attempt that was first stopped but resumed at the start of the last business week. Moreover, bitcoin topped $59,000 on a few occasions, the last of which came after the favorable US CPI data from Thursday.

However, it failed to keep the momentum going and retraced to $56,500 on Friday evening, but reclaimed some ground on Saturday and stood at around $58,000. The unfortunate events surrounding US presidential candidate Donald Trump led to more volatility in the market, but the failure of the assassination attempt resulted in a rally for BTC and most of the market.
